The Adventures of Mr. Green: A Greengrocer's Tale of Naps and a Helping Town

Once upon a time, there was a greengrocer named Mr. Green who lived in a small town. Every day, he would open his shop and sell fresh fruits and vegetables to the townspeople.

Monday was just like any other day for Mr. Green. He would wake up early, head to the market to buy the freshest produce, and then spend the day in his shop, greeting customers and helping them pick out the best fruits and veggies.

But one Tuesday, something strange happened. Mr. Green was feeling a little bit tired and decided to take a nap in his shop. When he woke up, he realized that he had slept the whole day away and missed the entire workday!

"Oh no!" he exclaimed. "I can't keep doing this, I need to be more careful."

Wednesday and Thursday went by without any more absent days, but on Friday, Mr. Green was feeling a bit overwhelmed and decided to take a break. He closed his shop early and went for a walk. Unfortunately, he got so lost in thought that he lost track of time and missed the whole day once again!

The weekend came and Mr. Green decided to spend it resting and relaxing, so he wouldn't be so tired during the week. But on Monday, he woke up feeling even more tired than before!

Despite his efforts, Mr. Green continued to miss work and sleep the days away. The townspeople started to get worried about their favorite greengrocer and decided to help him. They all came together and took turns watching over Mr. Green, making sure that he was awake and working every day.

From that day on, Mr. Green never missed a day of work again. And every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the townspeople would drop by his shop to say hello and make sure he was doing well.

And that's the story of how a small town came together to help their beloved greengrocer, Mr. Green.
